Shut Up And Take My Proxy Vote!

in #steem-help7 years ago

The last thing I have yet to understand on Steemit: Witnesses

So a steem witness is like a master node? And I should be voting for them?

I don't have the time to go through and read each witnesses proposal, vote accordingly, and adjust those votes as time goes on, so I am calling out to more experienced Steemers.

Who should I set as my proxy? Are there any Steem users who constantly post updates about witnesses?

Sort:  

Witnesses are the block producers of the network. I think @donkeypong @liberorist makes for great proxy voters btw..

still confused

The Steem platform is secured and supported by a network of witnesses all around the globe, ie, database and operations aren't centralised in companies like reddit inc / facebook inc. Witnesses are the ones with the computing resources to upkeep the network. Anyone can propose themselves to become a witness. Whether or not they become one will be through witness voting.

Thank you. I was getting confused on what a witness is and what they do. Now I know

No problem :)

thanks kevinwong
